Governments across the region are receiving the message loud and clear with renewable energy continuing to grow from strength to strength in the Middle East.
In the GCC alone, countries aim to save 4 billion barrels of oil and reduce emissions by 1.2 gigatonnes between now and 2030, according the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).
GCC countries can also see significant socioeconomic benefits as well. By 2030, IRENA projects that renewables will create about 130,000 direct jobs per year, and reduce water consumption by 20 percent per year a staggering 18 trillion litres.
The World Future Energy Summit (WFES), one of the worlds leading energy events, will support renewable energy innovation across the Middle East and North Africa. With more than 30,000 attendees and 650 exhibitors, the World Future Energy Summit will feature knowledge exchange, explore the latest developments, and address the challenges in the future energy area.
